“Is watery discharge a sign of pregnancy?”
That’s perhaps the most common question patients ask me, especially if they are very concerned or excited about a potential pregnancy. It’s quite easy to distinguish normal watery discharge from pregnancy-related discharge, and the primary factor that differentiates the two is the time of occurrence.
Green mucus vaginal discharge is an abnormal feminine secretion that occurs for some reasons. Most of the time, the discharge is yellow-green, has a bad smell that’s usually referred to as fishy, and a thick, creamy consistency that resembles cottage cheese. Common causes include sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), bacterial vaginosis, and foreign objects inside of the vagina (e.g. tampons). Many women may experience odorless green discharge as a normal part of their menstrual cycle, which isn’t necessarily a reason of concern.
We usually get questions about women health concerns, and one of the often-asked questions concern that of the length of menstrual flow and other symptoms that they experience during their period. It is normal for women to be ridden with questions concerning their reproductive health and the sensitive issue of menstrual health is something that indeed needs to be addressed.
Have you ever wanted to know more about ovulation symptoms, but were too embarrassed to ask?
You’re not alone. Unless you’re an ob-gyn, or have had long, explanatory discussions with someone else, knowing exactly what you can expect when you ovulate is quite impossible. While there is a number of symptoms that are common to this phase of your menstrual cycle, many women don’t experience all of them, while some don’t experience any at all.
